There are three theories put about to explain US President Donald Trump’s behavior toward Russia, and for unknown reasons the two most likely ones are almost entirely absent from US electronic media. The theories, in ascending order of likelihood, are: The Manchurian Candidate: He’s being blackmailed or has been a Russian asset for years. The Wanna-be Dictator: He believes that countries should be run like companies — in essence autocracies. The Deadbeat: He’s not only not rich, but he’s badly in debt, and Russian billionaires are among his main creditors.

By Amy Brittain The Washington Post Ashley Parker Anu Narayanswamy Mon., June 11, 2018 Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, the president’s daughter and son-in-law, brought in at least $82 million in outside income while serving as senior White House advisers during 2017, according to new financial disclosure forms released Monday. Ivanka Trump earned $3.9 million from her stake in the Trump International Hotel in Washington, while Kushner reported over $5 million in income from Quail Ridge, a Kushner Cos. apartment complex acquired last year in Plainsboro, N.J.
